Hummus doesn't have to mean chickpeas—many foods with a similar texture can sub in as the base of this flavorful paste that's perfect for dipping, roll-ups, or anything else a chef can imagine. This recipe is an easy side for any kitchen with a high-performance commercial food blender. And it's the kind of unusual dish that gets customers talking and keeps them coming back. 

We will be demoing this dish at NAFEM this week in Orlando - if you can't make it (or missed it), check us out on Twitter @HBC_Community to see the latest.

You may be wondering how many recipes are involved in the mezze platter featured in our EXPEDITOR™ recipe book -- we have featured seven different recipes on this blog, including our version of harissa paste below.

Why so many? A mezze platter is "a selection of small dishes...often served at the beginning of multi-course meals" according to Wikipedia. That means that we had to create several recipes to fit that definition. 

We hope you have enjoyed the series so far. More recipes to come, but don't wait...get your copy of the recipe book today!

While the word "Hollandaise" means "Dutch" in French, it does not seem to have originated in Holland -- rather, it is considered one of the French haute cuisine "mother" sauces.

In the U.S., Hollandaise sauce is typically associated with Eggs Benedict or steamed asparagus, but we developed this version to partner with our EXPEDITOR™ Yorkshire pudding recipe (the ingredients for both of these recipes are show here).

Yorkshire pudding is a classic English dish that is considered a rite of passage for the aspiring cook, has an official ruling by the Royal Society of Chemistry on its height requirements, and even has its own holiday (in both the UK and the US). 

The best recipes recommend measuring ingredients by weight to get the right ratios and produce the best results, and our version is no different.
